A numerical method for the following initial value problem for first order nonlinear scalar hyperbolic conservation law \(u_ t+f(u)_ x=0,\) \(u(x,0)=u_ 0(x)\) is proposed. The method is to approximate f by a piecewise linear function and the initial value by a piecewise constant function. It is proved to be applicable as a numerical method for a general flux function and a general initial value. The authors also point out that the error in this method is far smaller than in any other method and illustrate the method in an example.
